More top news for all you sci-fi geeks, (yes that includes myself) as FireFly Studios have announced that 'Space Colony' is coming to Steam as 'Space Colony : Steam Edition'; a remastered version of the real-time base builder. A fantastic game and one of the best from Firefly as you colonize the stars while designing bases, keeping your crew alive against hostile aliens and mine for resources. Read on for the press release!

Created exclusively for Steam, this remastered version of Space Colony features a brand new campaign, Steam Workshop support, achievements, trading cards and Steam Cloud for saved games. Space Colony: Steam Edition is the definitive version of the sci-fi base builder for fans of the original, the builder genre and the Stronghold series, with which it shares DNA in both gameplay and an irreverent sense of humour.

Space Colony is the cult classic sci-fi base builder from Firefly Studios, creators of the Stronghold series. As a commander of military and commercial installations on Earth, Blackwater Industries wants to see how you handle the rest of the galaxy. In Space Colony both your career and life are in the hands of an unruly crew, all looking to escape life back on Earth. Choosing from more than 100 different buildings, it’s up to you to design and build a colony that meets the needs of your crew keeping them safe, happy and alive. Half way across the galaxy with limited resources, a mega corporation looking over your shoulder and a ragtag crew expecting a paycheck, it's up to you to survive and turn a profit.

Also supported are new settings for HD graphics, allowing players to view their entire base on a single screen! Detect alien life forms early and counter-attack with laser defences, before they get anywhere near the crew. Keep an eye on all workers at once or harvest resources off-base while making sure everyone visits the colony psychologist.
